Mysore Masala Dosa

Mysore Masala  Dosa


Mysore Masala  Dosa  is a the traditional dosa is made from the dosa batter which is made from rice and lentils in the form of a thick liquid left to ferment overnight this one was served with seasoned potatoes and onions hidden inside. The texture was so perfect not greasy and the flavor was amazing. The distinguishing feature of the Mysore Masala Dosa is that a red chutney made of chilli is spread over the dosa while it is still on the plate. Then a small amount of a filling (made of potatoes, onions and seasoning) is placed over the dosa. Once the dosa turns golden brown, it is neatly folded and served with coconut chutney and sambar. This dosa is one of my son’s favorite...
